Howdy fellow pigboat skippers!

I've run face first into the Steam installation problems... I load up the game, start a career, start a patrol...and get stuck on a black screen with the GUI dials and buttons around the edge of the screen. The game automatically pauses itself. I can use fast fingers to hit backspace and get one of the other views (map table) but then its stuck. it won't unpause, it won't let me do anything, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

it's in a data drive (Windows 11 is installed on C drive)

D:\steamlibrary\steamapps\common\

I've turned UAC down to the second to least.
I've used compatibility to make it run in Win7 mode with the compatibility mode settings in this thread and the high DPI options set per the picture just before this post.

Anyways, I'm working it (uninstalling, reinstalling, etc.) and will comment as I learn things
